Thailand is a country well placed to attract a lot of tourists to the area. It has an interesting culture and is close to the beaches as well as the wilderness of the mountains. It needs to work hard to protect its reputation as a safe destination.
Politically Thailand is a country that is a little unstable. There are regular periods of civil unrest were the people express their anger at the government by strikes, protests and violent clashes. All of which scare tourist away.
Thailand is located next to the Golden Triangle and the related drugs that come out of that area (e.g. Opium and Heroin). Drug Trafficking is a serious problem for the countries in this area.
Smart Traveler, an Australian government website, constantly issues warnings and travel advise to Australians who are traveling overseas. Thailand is sometimes rated as a place to avoid or to exercise a 'high degree of caution'.
Thailand will need to address these issues in the future if it is to cash in on its beautiful scenery, excellent location interesting culture and wonderful beaches.
